Second arrest in stolen property, methamphetamine case

Another resident of Westbury Trailer Court was charged with receiving stolen property and manufacturing methamphetamine in relation to the large stolen item bust in May that netted more than $15,000 in stolen items.

Jennifer L. Gillen, 33, was arrested Monday after a nearly month-long investigation into stolen items at 2105 Westbury Trailer Court that also netted resident Jackie Potter, 35, on 16 charges including manufacturing methamphetamine, felony theft and theft of a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm.

According to the probable cause statement, KPD detectives located among the stolen items at 2105 Westbury two allegedly stolen video game consoles with profiles set up for a “Jenn.”

Gillen allegedly told police regarding the stolen items at her trailer that she had not been living there and had moved out over suspicion stolen items were being stored at the residence but later admitted to using the reportedly stolen video game consoles.

According to the probable cause statement, a check of the statewide pseudoephedrine purchase log also showed Gillen had purchased or attempted to purchase the key ingredient in methamphetamine at least 13 times in four months.

Gillen allegedly admitted to police she had been selling prescription pills and marijuana out of the residence but denied knowledge of meth-manufacturing.

She also allegedly admitted to using the video game consoles, knowing they were stolen.

She was charged Tuesday with the class B felony of manufacturing methamphetamine, the class C felony of possession of methamphetamine, the class C felony of possession of a chemical with intent to manufacture methamphetamine, the class D felony of providing materials for the production of methamphetamine, the class A misdemeanor of receiving stolen property and the class A misdemeanor of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Gillen was being held in the Adair County Jail as of Tuesday afternoon on a $75,000 cash-only bond.
